Friday's game against the Windy City Bulls was to have been the Herd's home opener in the new $21 million Menominee Nation Arena in Oshkosh. Construction delays forced the team to move the game to Milwaukee.

About 375 Herd fans from Oshkosh will come by bus to the game, said Herd spokeswoman Mallory Steinberg. The team also provided 600 tickets to its Menominee Nation partner and about 2,250 to nonprofits, she said.
